Weekly Astro Forecast for December 18 – December 24:
The Full Moon occurred on December 14 and this energy sets the stage through December 20. Since the energies of the Moon will only decrease, weaken, and wane after this point, the Full Moon is the time to either celebrate or to abandon the path that has failed to serve you. The seed you planted during the New Moon phase has grown and blossomed or remained stunted and miserly.
Sunday, December 18. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 4:55PM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Leo.
The Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Virgo at 5:51PM UTC Time. With the Moon in Virgo, you might feel an emotional need to stay busy and you will feel more critical about yourself and what you can achieve and what you cannot achieve.
Monday, December 19. The planet Mars enters the zodiac sign of Pisces and we begin a new cycle of change. With Mars in Pisces, your inner passions might feel awakened and you might feel like a spiritual investigator on a mission to help someone out. Just be careful not to fall for a sob story and get used.
Mercury turns retrograde at 10:55AM UTC Time. During retrograde motion, you should expect unexpected misunderstandings, delayed messages, and miscommunications. These are the times when you will feel secretly disrupted while writing, learning and with communication, and you are prone to make changes and speak up about how you really feel.
Retrograde Motion – Unexpected Snafus
Retrograde motion slows everything down and makes you wait. During retrograde motion, you’ll be fighting against Mercury’s slowness because the planet looks like it is backpedaling, but it’s an illusion, because the Earth is moving faster than Mercury.
Retrograde motion brings out unexpected snafus with communication and travel. During this period, there is much gossip, unexpected messages, many glitches related to the radio, phone, computer and internet, as well as local transportation glitches with cars, buses, planes and trains. Writer’s block occurs, with your mind feeling clouded and stuck, and unusual weather patterns and floods will cause delays with communication and transportation.
Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Semisquares Mars (the troublemaker) at 01:30PM UTC Time. You might feel restless and you will want to get things done quickly, or you might feel inpatient and get into a heated argument because you feel irritable. Conflicts are likely today, so try to take a step back if you feel inclined to get into it with someone.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
Tuesday, December 20. With the Full Moon in Virgo, you might feel more rigid and want to follow your schedule, not someone else’s.
Wednesday, December 21. The third quarter phase of the Moon occurs on December 21 at 1:55AM in the zodiac sign of Virgo and this energy sets the stage through December 28. This Moon phase heralds the moment to advance from and release the ties that bind us to the past. After reflecting on your accomplishments, you must accept that you have done everything that was possible for you. Now is the time to heal and revitalize and to wisely plan your next move.
The third quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 1:55AM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Virgo. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Sometimes the void-of-course phase makes you feel like you got out on the wrong side of your bed — you feel irritable or in a bad mood because you stepped into a crisis-in-action before you’ve had your first cup of coffee or you just start off with the wrong foot forward!
The third quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Libra at 2:39AM UTC Time. With the Moon in Libra, your emotions might feel activated and you might feel sensitive to other people’s opinions, or feel more judgmental.
The Sun enters the zodiac sign of Capricorn and a new cycle begins. Roll up your sleeves and get to work, take charge, get organized and work smarter, not harder.
The Winter Solstice begins on December 21, 2016.
This is the time to look back at what you’ve accomplished, but also the time to tie up all your loose ends that are dangling so you’ll be able to make a fresh new start!
Very soon you’ll start to work on your new goals that will lead you to success for the year of 2017. The Sun is in the zodiac sign of Capricorn (the mountain goat in astrology). Did you know the mountain goat climbs the highest cliffs and mountains to take a good look to see what’s going on to feel safe?
This Capricorn energy will make you want to climb the new mountain, and you’ll probably take a look to see what needs to be done and roll up your sleeves and get to work and commit to something important to you that will lead you to success in 2017.
Mars (the troublemaker) Semisquares Pluto (power and transformation at 11:50AM UTC Time. You might feel a need to dominate others and be in control of a situation, or get into a power struggle and it’s not going to be easy to remain flexible.

Thursday, December 22. The third quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 7:31PM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Libra. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Sometimes the void-of-course phase makes you feel like you got out on the wrong side of your bed — you feel irritable or in a bad mood because you stepped into a crisis-in-action before you’ve had your first cup of coffee or you just start off with the wrong foot forward!
Friday, December 23. The third quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Scorpio at 2:32PM UTC Time. With the Moon in Scorpio, you might need to channel your emotions and not take something to the extremes.
Saturday, December 24. Christmas Eve. With the Moon in Scorpio, this is the day when you will be doing exactly what needs to be done to get ready for Christmas Day and get everything done, and with the Moon in the third quarter phase, you will be rushing around to tie up all the loose ends.
The World – The Journey of Graduation Day
With the Sun entering the zodiac sign of Capricorn, a new cycle begins and this will be the time to roll up your sleeves and get to work, take charge, get organized and work smarter, not harder and commit to something important to you that will lead you to success in 2017, but also tie up your loose ends that are dangling.
Once upon a time you had to attend “The School of Hard Knocks” and learn very hard lessons to gain wisdom from mistakes and to become a stronger person.
You are the Hero, the World who is associated with a continuous cycle of change and the seventy-eight passageways of growth that will open up and lead you into new opportunities that are ready to be explored. Congratulations on climbing the last mountain of setbacks and struggles! You are receiving your diploma and standing at the gate of a fresh new start.
The past does not hold you back anymore because you tied up all your loose ends and will not wander back in the past and repeat past patterns that got you in trouble. You are at the end of your journey, placing the final touches on the past that allow the forging of new beginnings – the end of a cycle and the time of completion.
You closed the doors to the past and are now opening the new doors to the future. Remember, all endings bring new beginnings and this card reveals that yours will come very soon.
When you reach the World on your journey, you will realize that you have finally reached an important point in your life’s education. Having grown, you should be proud of what you have accomplished and acknowledge the distance and time that it exacted.
Numerical Number 21: This number is related to working hard to achieve your goals and having learned the necessary lessons, closing the doors to the past. You will feel inspired and optimistic about the future and the new goals that are waiting for you to explore.
The World, enumerated 21, consists of: 2 (making a choice) + 1 (a new beginning) = 3 (rebirth, creating something new. You will expand, give birth to life and create something beautiful with people who are close to you).
The Element of Earth: The World is associated with the planet Saturn (wisdom received from making mistakes).
It also indicates rolling up your sleeves to do the hard work to complete your education.
Probable Outcome: You are experiencing self-completion and success. You are the commander and chief of your life, no longer ruled by past thoughts because you live in the now. You have tied up loose ends and everything is starting to fall in place.
You might receive recognition from others and feel respected and appreciated.
Possible Outcome: The past rules your mind, or you still have loose ends that need to be tied up. This might be a time of frustration, delayed completion, or a stagnated situation, but not failure. Things are not moving as fast as you wanted.
It’s possible that you are not receiving recognition from others, or do not feel respected and appreciated.
Then again, you might not be able to channel the World’s energies into your life. If this is the case, then you are not willing to make changes because you are too structured.
It’s also possible that you unwilling to end a situation and your resistance to make this change indicates a delayed completion to achieve your dreams. You are still a student in the “School of Hard Knocks” because there is still more work to be done.
Timing: The World predicts that an important event may occur within the next 30 days.
See you next week!
